    If you want to get admission in IIM, then it is necessary for you to appear in the exam of CAT. There is no other option for getting admission.

    Hello!
    I would say look for other options. You need to worry, if you haven't written CAT exam, you can still apply for MBA at LPU.

    Hi. Akash. There isn't any other option to get into Iims; you must pass the CAT. Still if your are willing to pursue your career in MBA/PGDM. I would say there some best B-School in India who accept many other management exam score card along with 50% marks in graduation. Among that GIBS B-School Bangalore is the name for.
